2022 biggest NFL contracts by position and highest-paid players

Biggest NFL contracts at the offensive guard position

Total Money: Zack Martin, Dallas Cowboys (six years, $84 million)

Zack Martin is one of the premier offensive linemen in the NFL and has been for a handful of years now.

His contract has stood the test of time as it was signed back in 2018. Frankly, it’s a shock that no other offensive guard has topped this number in total money since 2018 considering guards are typically some of the top players that hit free agency on an annual basis.

Martin continues to be a key piece of that Cowboys offensive line.

Average annual value: Brandon Scherff, Jacksonville Jaguars ($16.5M per year)

In 2022, Brandon Scherff finally reset the market at the guard position on an average annual basis after playing on the franchise tag the last couple of seasons.

The Jacksonville Jaguars may have just been handing out cash in 2022, but Scherff did well to get a long-term payday and get it at a huge annual rate, the biggest at his position in the NFL right now.

Highest guarantee: Joe Thuney, Kansas City Chiefs ($46.89M)

Joe Thuney did not have to take a haircut to sign with the Kansas City Chiefs. Kansas City is a cash-rich team and they flaunted it last offseason with the acquisitions they made on the offensive line to protect Patrick Mahomes.

Thuney’s near-$47 million in guarantees are the best of any interior lineman in the entire NFL.
